This requires environmental,  character, and civic education, which has taken various forms  and has been promoted by environmental groups, scouting  organizations and clubs, educators, politicians, federal and state  agencies. Equally important are young people's own  contributions to environmental discourses, which have taken  various forms, including letters, essays, artwork, speeches,  testimony, and social media posts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book devotes critical  attention to these rhetorical artifacts, along with records of young  people's contributions to early bird protection and anti-cruelty  efforts; wildlife, tree, and natural resource conservation; anti-litter and recycling campaigns; and youth environmental  activism. McGrath identifies tropes, assumptions, and patterns  evident in the arguments of adults while also demonstrating how  young people have engaged with these  claims and narratives while claiming and exercising their own  rhetorical agency\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLaura McGrath \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English and Professional Writing at Kennesaw State University, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666948592\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944678588556,"sku":"9781666948592","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_143fc409-7228-482e-9392-e9784eb95282.jpg?v=1786036085","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666948592","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
